Explore Lebanon, Pennsylvania, with this interactive street and satellite map.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — the official USGS topographic sheets — plus USGS aerial imagery, a labelled USNG grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Lebanon, Pennsylvania. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture. Drag the map to pan to any area of Pennsylvania or beyond.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the official USGS topographic maps from The National Map — contours, hydrography, land cover and shaded relief, the same mapping used for hiking, hunting and back-country navigation in the Adirondacks, the Catskills and the Finger Lakes. Imagery shows USGS aerial photography, mostly 1-metre NAIP. The search box finds any US town, county or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Lebanon.
Reading the map like a paper quad. Click Grid to overlay the U.S. National Grid (USNG), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as a USNG grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — USNG being the format FEMA and US search and rescue teams work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need cell coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load.

Lebanon occupies a quiet expanse of land defined by the steady, persistent flow of the Quittapahilla Creek, which carves a path through the heart of the region’s fertile soil. It lies 13.1 miles east-northeast of Hershey, PA (from Hershey, PA: bearing 73°T), and is situated 9.8 miles east-northeast of Palmyra. The landscape here is defined by broad, open plains that stretch toward the horizon, where the distant silhouettes of the Blue Ridge Mountains frame the sky in shades of hazy violet and muted gray. Stoevers Lake sits just a short distance away, its surface often mirroring the changing moods of the clouds above, while the local environment remains deeply connected to the rhythms of the Pennsylvania interior. Within the immediate boundaries of the terrain, Walnut Street Park offers a verdant anchor, providing a space where the air feels crisp and the earth holds the scent of damp loam and seasonal growth.
German settlers seeking stability and agricultural promise laid the groundwork for Lebanon, drawn by the rich potential of the limestone-heavy soil. Over generations, the settlement evolved from a modest outpost into a place defined by the disciplined labor of its inhabitants and a distinct cultural heritage rooted in the traditions of the Pennsylvania Dutch. The architecture of the older districts reflects this history, with brick facades and sturdy, practical structures standing as evidence of a time when the town grew slowly, built by the steady hands of those who valued permanence. This enduring legacy remains visible in the way the streets are laid out, serving as a quiet witness to the persistence of a people who have long favored resilience over rapid, unconsidered change.
Economic life in Lebanon has historically pivoted on a blend of industrious manufacturing and the agricultural output of the surrounding plains, maintaining a pragmatic approach to commerce. While the roar of heavy industry has quieted compared to earlier eras, the infrastructure remains robust, supporting a network of local businesses and logistics that keep the movement of goods consistent. Educational opportunities are accessible through regional institutions that serve the broader area, providing a foundation for vocational and academic development. The pace of daily life is dictated by a commitment to steady, reliable output, ensuring that the local economy continues to function as a functional, grounded participant in the wider state landscape.
Culture in Lebanon flourishes through a series of annual events and festivals that gather the community in the public squares to celebrate local heritage and seasonal harvests. Residents often find recreation along the Horseshoe Trail, which provides a connection to the wider natural landscape, or by engaging in the competitive spirit of regional high school athletics that draw crowds on crisp Friday nights. While the community is not defined by singular, world-famous celebrities, it possesses a deep sense of identity anchored in its landmarks and the shared experience of living in a place that prioritizes neighborly familiarity. Whether it is the quiet reflection possible near the banks of the Quittapahilla Creek or the bustling atmosphere of a local gathering, Lebanon maintains a character that is as unpretentious as the earth itself.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any US town, county or landmark by name; offers USGS topographic maps and USGS aerial imagery as base layers; overlays a labelled U.S. National Grid (USNG) so the map can be read like a printed topographic quad; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as a USNG grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require cell coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from the USGS Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) and cross-verified against 2020 US Census records by coordinate proximity. Population figures are sourced from the 2020 US Census.
